(the start time is wrong on the website)

This show will feature the full 60-90 minute presentation of B. and I's Direct Democracy performance art piece, as well as a short showcase from some NYC writers we really respect- not traditional slam stuff, but impressive professional work by folks like Roger Bonair-Agard, Marty McConnell, Lynne Procope, and Michael Cirelli.

The event is actually going to double as Marty McConnell's going away performance after party send off. So even though it's relatively short notice, we're expecting a good turnout.

It's a small venue with great sound. Holds just over 75 people, should be an up-close, intimate set with an intense feel. It's the first night of our little DIY performance art tour and we'd really appreciate it if you came out, as well as any help you can give spreading the word.

Thanks,

~Jared

You know I'll be there, homie.
It sounds especially off the hook with folks like Roger, Marty & Mike. I couldn't be more excited!

Many thanks man, we expect it to be a hot performance. When we did the set at Amherst it had a magical kind of energy. We fit the pieces together in way where things just kind of explode back and forth.

We're a little behind on promo for this, but aren't worried because it's such a small venue. Nevertheless, any help you could give spreading the word or dragging folks along with you would be greatly appreciated.

I promise, the show will be something they'll walk away feeling impressed by.

ha I've been promoting it hard in my circle. It is one of those things I'd rather not even try to explain. Like "look, just show up and thank me later. I swear it is worth it."

I don't think you have to worry about drawing an audience. If half the people who know about this thing are anything like me, they will be dragging anyone and everyone they can get their hands on to it. Having the good fortune of seeing both of you guys separately, I can pretty much count on something memorable.

Roger Bonair-Agard and Mike Cirelli? With B. and Jared doing their thing?

If I didn't have work that night (and if I lived substantially closer to NYC), I'd be all over this.

It'd be so wild if we had an affordable bullet train like the Euro-rail. Imagine getting a round trip ticket to NYC for like $25? Less than 3 hours each way?

They fucked us. hahahaha. They really fucked us. GM! If it wasn't for your workers I'd revel in your doom!!

Yo Jared! Two questions:

I've heard you talk about the rail system a few times now and it's perked my interest. You know any websites or books off the top of your head that discuss bullet trains and why they haven't developed here?

Second... how similar is this tour going to be to what you and Bernard put on here at Amherst? I think it's great you two are really bringing this show on the road. Keepz it up.

Big Man! Soooo suped that you and Max made it down for the Basement show, and sorry that I missed P.O.S. There was just no time.

This tour will be very similar to what went down at Amherst, just a bit more streamlined. That show had a great feeling man, if we can capture that feel and build off it, this is going to be a hell of a run.

There is a ton of writing about automakers/oil lobbys legally and illegally sabotaging the passenger/cargo rail system in this country.
